The condition designated "love" is a chemical process in the soft human brain. Just ask Xanfor...How does one initiate said chemical reaction remotely?Short answer: It aint happening.

I have difficulties believing the answer is so simplistic. Love does happen "remotely", the concept of a person can initiate one's mind to consider the structure of a person, even if these structures are false or exaggerated due to lack of information. But it is nonetheless an affection for an individual that you have not yet met.

And if writing and ability of communication says more than looks, I have no objections towards this form of affection.

... the concept of a person can initiate one's mind to consider the structure of a person, even if these structures are false or exaggerated due to lack of information.

In other words, an imaginary person, not a real one.

Perhaps, but based on what one would assume to be a real person. But the Internet is full of twists, so you cannot really be sure. But you can still fall in love with an imaginary person, anyway, so my point stands.

If you are worried about that, then let me give you insurance that I have not.

Please forgive me Svip; I know English isn't your first language, and it is absoluteley not my intention to laugh at your English.You made me laugh.I believe you meant "assurance," sense two in particular, as opposed to "insurance," sense one - as in an insurance policy.What made me laugh?You made me imagine that you were a sleazy con-man trying to take my money by selling me a fraudlent "insurance policy."

Yes I have a strange sense of humor...Thank you Svip, you have done what few can claim: You made SpaceCase laugh.I must remember to put fresh batteries in my humor detector now...Please don't think I'm laughing at your English. I'm not. I'm laughing at what the use of one word, as opposed to another, conjoured in my head.I'll stop now, lest anyone think I'm laughing at you, or that I've lost any respect for you.I, uh... I'm... I'll just ooze back out under the door now...
